fur! this trend really took off and i am glad. fur used to be so taboo to wear and awkward for many. of course everyone has their personal beliefs on the issue, but there are plenty of great faux options out there today. so, its great that people feel more comfortable wearing it again. its evident bc i see it everywhere and on all types of people- women, guys, older, trendy... it used to be that the only people wearing fur were P-I-M-P-S (purple fur coats? come on i can see it now haha), or slavic people (case in point, i was born in poland). fur is extremely common and elegant attire in slavic countries (minor note that it gets pretty cold there).

that brings me to feature a very special piece, worn by my (other) sister, aneta (my sisters make my job much easier bringing the trends to me!). she is wearing a vintage hand-down hat that belonged to my mother. its a russian style hat, made of fox fur. she brought it back from poland, never thinking the trend would come back. lo and behold, it has, and my sister makes quite the statement in grand central nyc, carrying the look with confidence! she looks nothing short of modern and trendy, bringing an eclectic look to the styling. you dont need to go over the top when wearing fur (fur hat, fur coat, fur bag...), simply paid it with you everyday outfit to give it that pop as aneta did below- and its a hit. foxy!
